Twin wires are just fine, perfectly safe and used on all modern boats. When our kid crocks were made there was no decent quality marine twin lead.

I was at West Marine yesterday looking at wire and I had the option of duplex wire or single strand wire. The duplex was significantly cheaper per foot since it included both wires instead of buying each color separately. But I notice that nearly all of the existing wiring on the boat is single strand. Is there any reason not to buy a spool of duplex and just split the enclosing shield for the few times I need only one wire?
